  • Questions, Questions

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 25, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,943 views

    How do we respond to the questions of life? How did Jesus respond?

    It seems that questions fill our daily lives. Everywhere we go, we are confronted by questions. At home it might be very simple things like, “What’s for tea?” or, “When’s Grandma coming?”, “How can I afford it?”, “Who does she think she is?”, “What was that referee doing?”, “Why can’t I have ...read more

  • Church In Sardis

    The message to the church in Sardis and it’s relevance to us today

    Over the last few weeks in the United Reformed Church, we’ve been looking at the stories of some churches, and seeing what they might have to say to us today. These stories are in the book of Revelation, and they take the form of letters that were written to these churches. Like all of the book ...read more

  • Sermon For The Beginning Of Lent

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Aug 25, 2005
    based on 159 ratings
     | 29,505 views

    A sermon for the beginning of Lent, written for a small congregation in an English country chapel

    The shortest sermon ever recorded, which you won’t be getting this morning, consisted of the preacher going into the pulpit and quoting Romans 6:23, “The wages of sin is death”, and adding “there has been no change in the rate of pay. Amen”. It’s not very fashionable these days to talk about sin ...read more

  • Burning Bush & Our Ministry

    Exposition of the Burning Bush, and linkage to Ministry of all believers mentioned in Romans and Matthew

    In the church where I grew up, a 1950s building, the most dominant visual feature was a huge stained glass window depicting a Burning Bush. There was a cross on the back wall of the Church, like there is here/in the United Reformed Church here, but the visual image that stuck in my mind, and I ...read more

  • Jesus Plus Nothing Equals Salvation

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,337 views

    A message that shares how a person gets to heaven and who God uses in the process. In this case, it is Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch.

    Jesus + Nothing = Salvation (Acts 8:26-40) It’s good to be in God’s house this morning. And what a privilege it is to share God’s message from God’s word here with you today. Let me start off by asking a very simple question, “How many here are good in math?” I wish I could say I’m with ...read more

  • Divine Design

    A message that shows how God reveals Himself to the world.

    Divine Design (Psalm 19) Well, what a privilege it is this morning to be able to share a message with God’s people from God’s word. As a matter of fact, I can’t think of anything I would rather do than stand up here before you and break open the word of God Almighty. You know why folks? ...read more

    A message about the restoring of a fallen brother or sister in Christ.

    “Operation Restoration” (Gal. 6:1-5) Good morning! Great to be with you as we break open God’s word to see what He has in store for us today. I’m reminded daily of God’s blessing and faithfulness to me and my family and it’s my heart’s desire to be faithful to him in what He has called me to ...read more

    If anyone is in Christ there is a new creation - a sermon on this text for Holy Baptism and Holy Communion

    I remember once listening to Radio 4, when Christine Hamilton was being interviewed, talking about the relative poverty of he life after her husband Neil Hamilton famously lost his seat in the 1997 General Election. It was the first time I heard the phrase ‘BOGOF’. She was, of course, talking ...read more

  • Remembrance Sunday Sermon

    based on 46 ratings
     | 24,514 views

    A sermon for Remembrance Sunday - the UK’s version of Veteran’s Day, always on the second Sunday in November.

    It’s very daunting for me to stand in a pulpit on this day of all days. The closest I’ve come to living through a war is seeing it on the television, and the closest I’ve come to active service was the school cadet force. Yet, today is still desperately important. This year we remember ...read more

  • Church In Philadelphia

    The sixth of the seven churches - what might it have to say to us today?

    And so we come to the sixth of the seven letters to seven churches, the letter to the church in Philadelphia, which is of course in Asia, not the USA. What do we know about the city? Philadelphia was a strong fortress city, strategically located on the road from Rome to the east. It was a city of ...read more

  • Church In Laodicea

    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,809 views

    What was said to the Church in Laodicea - the seventh of the seven churches - and what it might mean for us today.

    Laodicea was a very, very wealthy city, founded by Antiochus II and named after his wife Laodice. The city was strategically located, where three major roads converged, so it was highly commercial. It was well known for its banking industry, its manufacture of black wool, and a medical school ...read more

  • Advent Sunday Sermon

     | 5,227 views

    A sermon for Advent Sunday, also alluding to St. Andrew’s tide and World AIDS day.

    Advent Sunday is a time that can mean so many different things to so many different people. As well as the start of Advent, it’s also the Sunday nearest to 1st December, marked as World AIDS Day, and the Sunday nearest to St. Andrew’s day, a traditional time for thinking about the mission of the ...read more

  • The Armour Of Light

     | 11,823 views

    Thinking more about the phrase, "the armour of light"

    There’s a proverb which says, "It’s better to light a candle than curse the darkness". I want to reflect, this evening, upon a phrase of Paul’s in that reading from Romans: the armour of light. As well as our usual, longer, silence after the sermon, there will some shorter silences as part of the ...read more

     | 10,625 views

    1 Corinthians 13’s message about Christian community

    In the film Four weddings and a funeral, during the first wedding, the reader begins the well-worn reading of 1 Corinthians 13, saying, "if I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal". As the reader pauses for breath, someone ...read more

  • Remembrance And Holy Communion

     | 6,912 views

    A sermon linking themes of Remembrance Sunday and Holy Communion - an uncommon combination in English Free churches

    This evening is something rather unusual in our church. Very rarely has our calendar so fallen that we celebrate Holy Communion on Remembrance Sunday. At first sight it seems very odd to mix something so religious, Holy Communion, with something with so many secular overtones, Remembrance Sunday. ...read more
